We very much enjoyed our stay in the Poppy House. It was a real authentic Bangkok experience! You really feel like you are in the heart of Bangkok and living like a local. However, there are few tourist restaurants and breakfast is hard to find, but we are okay with those things. We found great places to eat like a local all around us. The AC was WONDERFUL in our bedrooms, I only wish there was a way to have AC in the common areas to make them more livable, but that wouldn't be living like a local I guess! A super sweet orange tabby would come and visit us when we were home since the house has an open floor plan and you keep your windows opened for circulation. The house is also very well stocked with instant coffee/tea/sugar/spices/drinking water/towels/washing machine, drying rack, dish soap, dishes, pots and pans, shampoo, conditioner, etc.
